SkyLocus

SkyLocus helps you practice recognizing familiar night-sky figures by starting from bright star groups and expanding outward. Choose a season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter), an hour band (Evening, Late Night, or Before Dawn), and a rough latitude band (Low, Middle, or High). SkyLocus then builds a local reference list of prominent constellations that often appear under those conditions, along with bright stars and short path hints. You can also browse landmark star groups such as the Big Dipper, the Summer Triangle, Orion’s Belt, the Winter Hexagon, and the Great Square of Pegasus. Open a figure to read how it connects to nearby constellations. Season sketches summarize a practical starting route for each time of year. Save useful paths on the device for later review. Results are simplified references for outdoor sky practice and should be compared with your real sky, weather, and light conditions. Features: • Seasonal observation setup without location services • Path hints from bright star groups to nearby figures • Star-group catalog and season sketches • Local saved paths on this device SkyLocus does not replace planetarium software or professional ephemerides. It focuses on memorable visual patterns that many observers use when learning the sky.
